Chapter 417 The only reason we didn't kick you out was because of that meager blood relation!
Qiao Manman rubbed her forehead: "Stop calling me 'niece,' it's giving me a headache!"
My name is Qiao Manman. You can call me by my name, or "Comrade Xiao Qiao!"
"I'm just thinking that if I shout it out more, you'll get used to it and be more accepting of me!"
"If you can't solve my mother's problem, I will never accept you!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go back and call your grandparents right away. If it really was Yin Yuhan who did it, your uncle will never cover for her!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow: "Let's see how you perform!"
He glanced at the mess on the table and said, "Now that you're full, let's go back!"
"No, I still want to connect with you emotionally!"
"Did you ask Lu Yuan before saying that?" Qiao Manman gave the man a defiant look. "I'm sleepy!"
He got up, yawned, and went back to his bedroom.
Lu Yuan, his face sour, shooed him away: "Comrade He, I have to go to work in an hour. You and Manman haven't met yet, it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room together!"
"I am Manman's mother's biological brother!" He Jingcheng retorted, refusing to leave.
Lu Yuan ignored him and went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. After he finished, he went into the bedroom, locked the door, and left the three of them staring blankly at the air.
"Researcher He, shall we go back and make a call?"
"Yes, there's no use standing here like this."
Given Deputy Regiment Commander Lu's temperament, the only reason he didn't kick you out was because of your meager blood relation with Sister-in-law Lu.
Even if you stay here, you're just killing time. You'll have to leave when Deputy Regiment Commander Lu starts work.
Instead of wasting time here, you should go back and think about how to handle your relationship with Comrade Qiao.
He Jingcheng thought it made sense, so he got up and called into the house, "Manman, your uncle is going back. When you come back from your holiday, your uncle will treat you to a meal!"
Seeing no response from inside, he left with his head down.
He pulled the door open and dawdled, saying, "Uncle's leaving, don't see me off! I'll come see you again when I'm free!"
There was still no response from the bedroom. He Jingcheng closed the door dejectedly and went downstairs, looking back every few steps.
Completely unaware of the curious glances peeking out from upstairs and downstairs.
Inside, Lu Yuan came out to check the door lock. Seeing that it was completely locked, he went to the windowsill.
Watching He Jingcheng's reluctant departure, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Back inside, he said to Qiao Manman, "Your uncle is quite amusing!"
"He's very smart when it comes to research, but he's a bit of a fool!" Qiao Manman hugged Lu Yuan's neck: "Haven't seen me for half a month, have you missed me?"
"Yes, I really want to!" Lu Yuan's eyes changed, his mouth watering like a wolf eyeing a bone: "Wife, let's go into the space?"
Qiao Manman nodded and led him into the villa. The two made love, and it was two hours later when they finished.
After washing up, Qiao Manman rested at home, while Lu Yuan went to work feeling refreshed.
Neither of them took He Jingcheng seriously, but the news spread so quickly that at just past three o'clock, Commander He called Lu Yuan to his office to find out what was going on.
The wives in the family compound also gathered together to gossip, and the center of their conversation was Qiao Manman's mysterious, handsome, and elegant uncle who had two bodyguards with him.
"No wonder Lu's wife is so capable; it turns out her family is quite extraordinary!"
With a medical luminary in the family and a rising star in scientific research by her uncle, Qiao Manman has transformed from a country bumpkin into a young lady from a powerful family.
Oh my, those who used to say she was marrying above her station are now so jealous!
Of course, I only dare to say a few words in a veiled way.
If Qiao Manman finds out they're talking about her behind her back, who knows how she'll be punished.
At the very least, I'll lose my job!
While things are peaceful and serene on one side, there is only hardship and misery on the other.
After fleeing all the way, Meng Peiyu finally arrived in Dong Province.
The fear and anxiety she had been experiencing for days had made her extremely thin.
I had to avoid people the whole way and didn't have time to replenish my energy.
When I checked in with the system, all I got were trivial things.
Honestly, does Meng Peiyu regret it? To some extent, yes.
But she refused to admit defeat. Every time she encountered difficulties, she comforted herself, saying that there was still a chance to start over.
Faced with an uncertain future, the Meng family members disagreed. Meng Hongsheng wanted to go directly to sea, while Meng Peiyu insisted on heading north.
Finally, the two sides decided to act separately.
Meng Hongsheng, Liang Fanqi, and Meng Linyu stayed in Dong Province, while Meng Peiyu, Meng Guohao, and Sang Sheng went north.
In this way, the target can be considered to be reduced.
Meng Hongsheng and his two companions obtained fake letters of introduction in a remote town and rented a small, dilapidated courtyard to live in.
After riding their bikes a short distance, Meng Peiyu and her two companions, feeling tired, stole someone else's train ticket and boarded a train heading north.
Along the way, Meng Peiyu encountered many train police officers checking tickets, but she always managed to escape unscathed.
Sang Sheng exclaimed, "Miss, you are truly God's favorite!"
Meng Guohao also said, "Sister, you're amazing!"
Only the people in the same carriage looked at the group as if they were plague carriers, thinking that ever since they sat down there, no one around them had a good time.
I got hit on the head by luggage, tripped over packages, bitten on the hand by a dog, pecked by a chicken, and so on...
Anyway, chaos reigned, and there was never a moment of peace.
Meng Peiyu didn't want to be in the spotlight, but she had no choice. She absorbed other people's luck, and those people would suffer bad luck, even getting a minor injury was considered lucky.
People in the neighborhood think Meng Peiyu is lucky and want to stay away from her.
But she was so generous, and given that she was disabled, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Meng Peiyu apologized to the person with a guilty look on her face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I've been unlucky since I was a child. I broke this leg because of bad luck."
The village elders say, "It'll be good once you live past thirty!"
Everyone was skeptical, thinking that this girl might not live to be thirty.
"These are some snacks I brought from my hometown. If any of you are hungry, come and have some!"
There were a bunch of balut snails in the space. Meng Peiyu didn't dare to eat them, but that didn't mean others wouldn't.
It's meat, after all, and it was snapped up as soon as it was taken out.
Meng Peiyu tried her best to control the speed at which she absorbed the energy, doing so slowly and deliberately so that no one would notice.

In the evening, Qiao Manman came out of her spatial dimension, took out the braised fish, steamed crab, braised pork stew with potatoes that she hadn't eaten at noon, washed a plate of fruit, and waited for Lu Yuan to come home.
Just as she finished setting things up, there was a knock at the door. Before Qiao Manman could react, Lu Yuan walked in.
Accompanying him was the enthusiastic Big Yellow.
But just as he was about to pounce, Lu Yuan stopped him: "Go to the bathroom and wash your paws!"
Big Yellow whimpered as it went to the bathroom to wash its feet. When it came out, its initial enthusiasm had long since vanished.
Lu Yuan brought over its food bowl and asked Qiao Manman to put dog food in it.
Qiao Manman waved her hand, and put the dog and the basin into her spatial storage.
She and Lu Yuan were invited to have dinner together.
Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with this development.
He hugged Qiao Manman's waist, nuzzled her neck, and then sat down at the table to chat and eat.
"Today, Brigade Commander He called me over and asked about your relationship with Researcher He. I told him the truth!"
"Go ahead and tell me, it'll be exposed sooner or later anyway." Qiao Manman broke off a crab leg, slurped it up, and asked, "What was Commander He's reaction?"
